Server Disk Space Is Getting Close To Full Capacity
Feb 18, 2015My SQL server disk space is getting close to full capacity which is causing certain reports that we run via the SQL server to time out because I don't think there is enough space on the server.
Any tips on cleaning out a SQL server? Are there any folders that can absolutely be deleted to clear space? I know on a local computer that the %temp% folder can be cleaned out. I know when dealing with servers you do not want to make to many changes because it can cause major problems down the road.
SQL Server Freezes : Consumes High Disk Space

Required Free Disk Space For SQL Server Backup Operations
Feb 4, 2008What is the percentage of FREE disk space that is needed for a backup? I have backups that are failing with no disk space errors. But there is enough disk. Does SQL Server need a percentage of free space all the time?
Thanks

Disk Space
Feb 19, 2001Hi All,
I have a server and it has C: D: F: I: Drives and all the system files are on C:Drive and and all the .MDF's and .LDF's(model,temp,master) are on the F: Drive and now I am running out of space on both(C: and F: Drives)
1. Can we add space to the C: and F: drives on the fly?.
2. Can I move the System databases ( MDF's and LDF's to some other drive)and if so, how do I do it?( Moving the databases ) and this is on the production database so when I have to do this.Will there be any impact.
Thanks in Advance,

Disk Space
Feb 21, 2003Does anyone know how to get the free disk space for all drives in many different SQL servers.
I need to populate a report (right now output in Excel) with the free disk space of all drives on all of my SQL servers.
I found xp_fixeddrives but that is specific for the server where it is executed.
Any help or pointers to a script in the archives is much appreciated.
Thanks.
Low Disk Space On C:
Aug 2, 2004I noticed something strange today. I was running a query using query analyzer on a large database (8.8 million records) and the disk space on the c: drive was dropping and eventually went to 0. Availalbe space on the c: drive is 10GB. The query did complete. SQL server and all the databases are on the d: drive. After closing the query results in query analyzer the disk space returned. Is this a concern and is there a way to change it to use the d: for whatever it is doing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDTS Disk Space
Jun 30, 2006This is my first attempt using SQL 2000 and DTS. I am importing an Access database using the DTS wizard. The process fails with a "Not enough space on temporary disk" error. There is definitely enough space on the physical disk. I don't have any limits on any folder sizes either. What "disk" is the error talking about, and how do I give it enough space. The database is relatively small, about 10MB. I believe the database was created using Access 97. Please help.

Feb 21, 2002I need a way to get the used space for a physical drive, or even the total capacity for a drive to do some calculations.
I don't want to have to write my own native code either.
Is there a stored procedure that will give this to me?
I saw the xp_fixeddrives that will give the free space, but I need one of the other as well.
Any way to get this?
Thanks,

Evaluating Disk Space
May 9, 2000We recently moved from v6.5 to v7.0. Now I have the databases and logs set to "autogrow". How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ???
Thanks so much for any help...

Insufficient Disk Space
Feb 19, 2001I'm trying to save a dts package and it keeps coming back with insufficient disk space. I noiticed that db MSDB was full so I manually increased the size. It was set to manually grow at 1 mb increments. But for some reason it didn't look like it was doing that so I manually increased it. Right now this is about 355 MB free so that should be plenty to save a package. But its still coming back with the same error insufficient disk space to complete operation. Any ideas on why or why it didn't grow on its own? Please help I can't seem to save any packages.

Feb 2, 2000Our database -SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5)- is growing at a very fast rate despite the fact that we are deleting old record. It doesn't seem to be recovering disk space for the deleted records. Please let me know if there is a specific setting that can help us recover disk space. )
View 1 Replies View RelatedObtaining Disk Space
Mar 23, 2006Hi,
I'm new to these forums (and to SQL Server), so please be gentle with me.
I am developing a process to obtain information on all our remote servers/databases, and store it in a single local database.
I'm after things like db size, last backup date, free drive space etc...the usual weekly statistics.
I've linked the remote servers to my local one, and have written a few simple procedures (which exist on the local server) to grab backup and file size information from the remote tables. The output is stored locally in tables which we can then query as necessary.
I am having difficulty obtaining the free drive space details.
I'm using :-
'exec <remote_server>.master.dbo.xp_fixeddrives' to get the info, but I cannot store the output in a table on the local server. (remote_server_name, date, drive_letter, space_mb)
I wish to avoid creating any objects on the remote servers if at all possible.
I really want to pass the remote server name into the procedure, and the output to be inserted into the table.
Many thanks

Jan 18, 2007Hi
I have 600 instances on my network .... I need to monitor the Disk Space ... how should I do that I mean the best way for this would be ???
By Disk Space I mean the SQL Instance should atleat have 10% of free disk space ... If it is less , maybe an alert can be sent or something of that sort .
Now it would be a pain configuring alerts on each machine.
Is there some good way to this
Thanks in advance.
Disk Space Investigation
Aug 8, 2007All,
I think i know the answer to this one already, but would like to check before going back to my management.
Background. In the past 2 weeks, a number of our databases have shot up in size, and are now at 100% utilisation of allocated disk space. My management have asked me to look into what is causing these to fill up so quickly.
Unfortunatly there were no snap shots or information relating to the databases / tables so i can not determine which tables have grown and are causing the problems.
I have also looked through the sql logs and the event viewer logs to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, but again apart from log / database backups there is nothing of note in there.
I am going to be implementing a solution that I got off another thread which will give me some database / table history to help me in the future, but for now is there anything else i can do? or is it a case of me getting back to the application guys and getting them to reduce data (as there is no more disk space to give them).
Any thoughts or advice you can give me would be greatfully received.

Expanding Disk Space
Nov 12, 2007Okay, so i have a Dual Xeon SQL2k5 Server set up. it's got 4 10k RPM Raptor Drivers (160gb) on it all stripped together. my question is this, i was just doing all kinds of index tuning, and my server didnt have enough disk space to create 2two of the recommended adjustments. i'm curious, if i should just have those two indexes stored on the 1TB Backup array i have? (two 500gb 7200RPM drives)
or should i backup the database, and expand the Raptor Array and then restore the database and create the indexes?
i'm not really worried about down time as long as it doesnt exceed 2 days.
Disk Space After Reindex
Nov 29, 2007All,
I first ran indexdefrag on a table with 1.5 billion rows.
logical fragmentation was at 95%.
logical frag went down to 3% with no real effect on disk.
DBCC reindex had previously been bombing undetected.
Now I've run a reindex on this table:
Reindex Job with Fillfactor =100
Ran in 3:05
Free Disk went from ~150GB before operation to 49GB
File4 went from 347GB to 504GB
Why has so much free disk been consumed by this operation and not released ??????????
Is my only choice to shrink data file???
thanks

Checking Disk Space

I need to check the space available on a specific disk (D on a remote server, again, this task will be executed from an SSIS package, if I have less than 60GB available, I have to delete some files.
How would you guys do this using VB.NET? If I had SQL Server installed on that box, I could achieve this executing a DOS command... But I don't...

How To Specify Disk Space Allocation For Databases ?
Aug 13, 2002Hello ,
I wanted to know on what basis the disk space allocation for the databases is planned . Suppose if we plan 60 GB for data files ( mdf )for a given database then what should be the space allocation for the log files ( ldf ) and the tempdb ( both mdf and ldf files ).
Is there any thumb rule or any defined ratio for the same ?
Thanks
